扁蟾属
扁蟾属（学名：Incilius），俗称中美洲蟾蜍，是蟾蜍科的属[2]，分布于美国南部、墨西哥、中美洲地区和南美洲北部（哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔）。扁蟾属是生态和生物地理多样化的蟾蜍群，包括一些微小的特有種，如只分布于云雾森林的Incilius spiculatus，以及Incilius valliceps等分布于干扰生境的低地物种[3]。

分类学和系统学
扁蟾属的分类学和系统学最近发生了很多变化。2011年，Cranopsis、Ollotis、Crepidius和Crepidophryne成为扁蟾属的異名。但是，扁蟾属是单系群的观点受到了Incilius bocourti的威胁，因为Incilius bocourti可能是Anaxyrus的姐妹群[1]。
另一个讨论是识别该属的分类学水平。在2006年达尔·弗罗斯特及其同事大规模修订两栖动物系统学之前，扁蟾属并没有得到广泛的认可[4]，而是以Cranopsis的名义存在，包括前“垣头蟾组”及其相关物种。但是，另外一些学者认为扁蟾属应该被看做蟾蜍屬的亞屬[5]。

AmphibiaWeb认可Incilius intermedius (Günther, 1858)是有效物种，而Amphibian Species of the World认为Incilius intermedius是Incilius occidentalis (Camerano, 1879)的異名[6][1]。
